  ONE in 10 senior police officers in England and Wales are currently
  facing criminal or disciplinary charges, The Telegraph can reveal.

  The Police Superintendents' Association (PSA) will this week release
  figures at its annual conference in Warwickshire revealing that 101
  superintendents are suspended from duty or are working under a cloud
  of suspicion.

  In some forces as many as one in five superintendents are being 
  investigated by other police officers for criminal or disciplinary 
  matters. In comparison, less than one per cent of the population is
  under investigation at any one time by the police.

  Chief Supt Kevin Morris, the president of the PSA, will tell his 
  members this week that he fears a day when it will become hard for 
  the public to tell the criminals and police apart.

  'Perceptions' has a message for the PSA:-

  `Public has a hard time telling police and criminals apart NOW'

   From our conclusions at

   where we warned of more bullies, rapists, perverts and murderers within
   the white male police force than in the general population.
